The UK Home Office will raise the application fee for the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) from April 8.
The fee will be increased from the current £16 (about 3,400 yen) to £20 (about 4,260 yen). Applications can be submitted via a dedicated app or website, and are usually approved within three business days. The ETA is valid for two years from the date of issue.
Since February 25, obtaining an ETA has been a mandatory requirement for travel to the United Kingdom, and passengers without an ETA have been denied boarding.
Visa application fees, including the ETA, are revised every April. The ETA application fee was £10 when it was first introduced.
